Chapter 121: Night at the Adventurers’ Guild The lobby of the O’Circus branch of the Adventurers’ Guild was an enormous hall with a tavern attached. At that hour, many adventurers had already begun drinking. A low wall divided the building, with the reception counters occupying the right half and the tavern the left. Each side […]
Chapter 120: The Port City Once Tauro and his companions crossed the mountain pass, the remainder of the journey proceeded smoothly. They continued camping along the way, but ate and slept comfortably. Tauro also used [Purification] on everyone to maintain their hygiene, so they encountered few difficulties. The only real concern was the toilet. Aeris
Chapter 119: The Would-Be Bandits As Shin and Rumeya advanced, Aeris cast defensive magic on them from behind as a precaution. The attackers panicked when the two charged without attempting to negotiate. “D-damn it! Get them!” “R-right!” The would-be bandits attacked the pair. They were no match for Shin and Rumeya. Rumeya sent men flying
Chapter 118: Preparing Camp Tauro erected two more of his carefully made tents and spread soft furs across the ground inside them. He assigned one tent to the coachman and another to the women. Tauro, Shin, and Rumeya would share the larger tent. For lighting, Tauro had prepared a magical lantern. It was extremely useful—and
Chapter 117: Itinerary Leada, the Garfish Company’s female representative, the male coachman, and the four members of Black-Gold Wings serving as their escorts traveled along the road in a swaying carriage. “It takes about a week to reach O’Circus, right?” Rumeya asked Leada, their client’s representative. “Y-yes!

Please come inside instead of standing out here.” Tauro invited Marches into the house. “…The truth is, another job has come up.” Marches explained uneasily. “Something besides the O’Circus delivery?”
Chapter 115: Turning Twelve Tauro and his team, Black-Gold Wings, had been promoted from E-minus to E rank. Shin and Rumeya were thrilled. If they continued progressing at this pace, D rank would soon be within reach. Tauro, however, remained relatively calm, since he had already climbed the ranks once before. Aeris was equally composed,
Chapter 114: The Investigation Team Returns Home Tauro’s unexpected fan had appeared in the most unlikely of places, and Sharga was now so delighted to meet him that the dungeon discussion had been completely forgotten. Apparently, Tauro’s disappearance after turning down an influential nobleman’s offer was famous among Reversi enthusiasts, who regarded him as a
Chapter 113: A Fan Appears The investigation team remained at the dungeon ruins and camped outside the cave for the night. Sharga stayed inside the dungeon ruins the entire time. Tauro wondered what he was doing, but Sharga seemed to be measuring everything—the height of the ceiling, the dimensions of the room, and even the
Chapter 112: The Captain and His Knights The next day, Black-Gold Wings guided the investigation party to the remains of the dungeon. They encountered several monsters along the way, but the knights dispatched them so easily that Tauro’s party never needed to intervene.
